absolute legend, i’m 16 years old and i’m doing my CBT on the 20th of July and i was fairly nervous before watching this and it has helped massively. Thanks a lot my friend, defiantly worth the subscription!
Thanks buddy and welcome to the channel :) let me know how it goes!!
@@TheDonInLondonthis guys 19 now😂
I wonder if he passed 😂
@@TheDonInLondonI passed! can confidently say that this video was the biggest thing to help me pass haha thanks again dude.
Ahhh thank you! Congratulations!!! Welcome to two wheels
I'm 16 in a month and taking my CBT this video made me realy excited to. thanks
Awesome news buddy, thanks for your comment!! Stay safe and check out my other videos which will help you stay safe! :)
Hope you managed to pass and get your moped 👍 I’m doing mine next month for my 17th
Awesome news buddy, please keep us posted how it goes!!! Good luck :)
How’d it go?
Hope u didn’t crash too hard
Passed my cbt a few months ago, instructor was impressed I kept my nerve with an audi so far up my ass he could see what I had for breakfast
Haha well done buddy, welcome to the two wheel club :) check out my other videos too which will help you ride safe. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already
Wanna say a massive thank you for uploading something like this, I'm in the process of getting my provisional sorted, been trying to sort my blood sugar levels out for ages now and I've finally got the go ahead from my consultant to finish the form and to go ahead with CBT ect. Slightly nervous for the future seeing as I gotta wait a tiny bit for everything to go through definitely picking up a copy of the highway code asap thanks again - A hopeful rider
Your welcome buddy! I am so pleased to see it has helped! Make sure you read and understand the highway code because it is where a lot of people mess up! Keep me posted how it goes and don't forget to subscribe as more videos to help will be coming soon:)
A twist n go auto scooter is a perfect choice for casual beginners as it makes you more safer by focusing on whats around you rather than if you forgot what gearing your in and the clutch.
100% buddy. Thanks for dropping a comment
Yeah agree auto are great for observations
Yh fr doing some training now and automatic is so much better for first time I was struggling on manual riding the clutch got a moped 5 mins later I’m riding decent and after I get my cbt I can do my a2 and by then I will learn manual
Thanks for this bro I turned 16 a few days ago and I’m thinking of getting a scooter too 🙏🏽
Glad it helped! Good luck buddy
I’ve been dying to get a motorcycle for the longest... I finally convinced my mum 😬 so taking my CBT next week! Absolutely loved your video! Thanksssss 🥳
Awesome buddy!! Stay safe it can be dangerous but can be great too! Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos :)
how did it go mate? also how did you convince your mum it won’t work for me😂
@@cameronstoker just get a job and get it done yourself.. book your CBT now though, not sure what it'd be like wherever you're from, but both my local bits are fully booked until at least October
i really like how you talk and communicate to the camera as if you’re actually talking to me. encouraging me to do my CBT even more
Cheers buddy! Yeah it is awesome will change your life getting on two wheels buddy
im here with the typical “turning 16 and doing my cbt next month” 😂 i cant wait, great videoo btw keep up the great work.
Awesome buddy, good luck and welcome to the channel :)
Awww this was a trip down memory lane. I remember my CBT. I had never ridden a motorcycle a day in my life before my CBT. I had been driving 5 years though. Even so, I remember how much I shit myself. After a few hours of basic maneuvers in a playground (on a suzuki gn125) they put us on the road. I remember how vulnerable and how small I felt on the bike, and how crap the school helmets were. It rained and I couldn't see shit. Rode in the rain with the visor up. Even fell off the bike while doing a u-turn (the instructor was laughing her ass off over the radio). Once I got my CBT certificate I bought a decent helmet and a little while later a YZF R125 to practice on. This was 10 years ago.
For those who're doing their CBT, don't worry about being nervous I know I was. Don't worry about messing up. Just enjoy it, and learn all that you can. You'll hopefully come back with a certificate and a story to tell. One last thing. At the time they did mention that the only time they didn't pass a student was because they didn't know the Highway code and were at risk to themselves on the road. So make sure you know the highway code!
Lovely comment and story but you are very right, it is all about the highway code!!
Oh and thank you so much for this vid it's really great to see what I'll be seeing this week and the way you explain things is really great so TY!
Happy you enjoyed the video and that it helped!!! Don't forget to keep us posted how yours goes on Friday!! Good luck :)
Cant wait to do my CBT for my 17th birthday in july, Quite far away, still nervous, but cant wait. Going for a 125cc, hopefully it's easy to understand gears!
Good luck buddy, worth checking my other videos to help too! Keep us posted how it goes!!
Was it hard mate?
It wasn't for me. Callum how did it go?
The Don in London I haven’t done it yet mate, working on rebuilding a house atm, but as it’s my birthday on the 25th July, I’ll most likely book for a cbt then and see if they have any available spots so I can get it done soon as possible, I’ve got a question , is it worth spending750/900 ish on a used(Sinnis Apache)
J W I haven’t done it yet , hopefully it won’t be hard! After seeing some plonker riders on the road 😀
Got my CBT tomorrow! So this was pretty reassuring and useful - thanks!
Awesome buddy!! Good luck! Keep us posted how it goes!
4 years later, are you still riding? :)
I got so happy when you went into that Starbucks
Haha why? It is nice to have one in the morning :)
Got my cbt tomorrow and I was fine about it until today I started getting anxious, this really helped me relax, thank you
Good luck Ellie and keep me posted how you get on. Remember there is nothing to be nervous about, there is no test :)
The Don in London I passes thanks so much for the video it helped so much
@@ellieblack3339 your welcome and congratulations!!! So pleased it helped. Check out my other videos too which should help for you riding skills etc :) welcome to the channel!
Well done on the cbt, safe riding 🛵
About to do my CBT on a 125cc Manual bike in a week... this made me feel more confident and am really looking forward to it as a 17th birthday present!!
Awesome news buddy, glad you enjoyed it and that it helped! Good luck and keep me posted how you get on :)
The Don in London just finished my CBT and I PASSED!!! Although it is just the start is was a great foundation to get an idea of the road and how it actually feels to ride with the hazards included... found this video great and if anyone is considering doing a CBT go for it!!
@@DarkRadiation1 awesome news buddy! Thanks for letting me know! Congratulations bud! So pleased the video helped too :)
My cbt in few days and can’t wait. Got all my stuff already. This making me want to even more lol
Awesome buddy! Good luck let me know how you get on! :)
The Don in London will do!
Where are you doing it? All my CBT test centres are closed due to covid
@Tony sunglasses guy Ferguson good luck buddy
I'm doing my CBT on the 28th this month, im really looking forward to it 🛵
Such a down to earth vid, so useful I'm going to start my bike licence in May.
Cheers buddy!! Good luck and keep me posted how it goes :)
@@TheDonInLondon will do 👍
Doing my cbt later today, but my nan passed yesterday morning.
@@TheDonInLondon she passed the test
Ahhhh sounded a bit different to me
@@TheDonInLondon yeah I must admit I had to look at the comment a few times to figure it out lol
Haha glad i wasn't the only one 😅
I have my CBT tomorrow and I’m super anxious about it. I’m 30f as well so feeling a bit ridiculous doing it at my age when most of the people round here are 16 with peds. This video has helped a lot though and it is appreciated!
You will be fine many people do the course who are older. It means you come with more maturity so it is a good thing :) glad it helped good luck!
I did my cbt failed the first time because I didn’t know the Highway Code but went back and passed because I learned about the Highway Code
ive got my first CBT test in a few weeks watching your video has helped me know what to expect
Awesome, thanks for dropping a comment and let me know how you get on! Good luck!
Been driving for 5 years and about to go for my CBT. This vid was great. Thanks mate. SUB
Ah welcome to the channel buddy! Keep me posted how you get on!!

Awesome, glad to hear that! Thanks for dropping a comment!!
You are such a natural talking to camera mate you will quickly pick up more subs.Just keep at it and put out quality and you will get a lot bigger,well done 👏👍🏻😎
ninjanelly350 thanks buddy, mind you it did take a bit of getting use to talking to the camera haha
Got my CBT booked for the 30th of this month i did car driving lessons for 6 months n quit as I was getting nowhere with it so getting a bike as it’s easy
Shame you gave up on the car but good luck with your CBT
I’m doing my DAS with these guys in November.I nearly had my licence but everything shut down because of COVID and I’ve had to start all over again.
Ah awesome! Yes they are very good here so you should be good. Let them know you saw the video too 👍 good luck!! 😁
Got my CBT on Friday, pretty nervous but gained more confidence after watching this video!
That's great news buddy, glad it helped. Got more videos coming out soon for all the newbies to the community so stay tuned. Good luck for friday!
The Don In London cheers mate! And great I’ll be sure to watch!
@@HarveyHTMMotionDesign awesome!! :)
I'm in the USA, so in order to ride a 125cc scooter, I have to take a knowledge test about motorcycles and pass it to obtain a motorcycle permit then take a riders course and pass it, then I'll be awarded my motorcycle license. Anything over 50cc is classified as a motorcycle in my state, so it's a requirement to do those steps. We call it Basic Rider Course(BRC) here. I'm interested in getting a scooter so I'm watching this video, I am learning alot even though the video is based in the UK.
Cheers buddy, got some other training videos which could help too
Awesome video, exactly what I wanted to see as a keen cyclist and motorist haven never ridden a motorcycle.
Cheers buddy glad you enjoyed it! Welcome to the channel :)
doing my cbt in october im buzzing
Whoop not far buddy, let me know how you get on!!
How’s it go
Nice Video mate, Week until mine and already sorted out everything else, Can't wait to get on my moped and start riding around!
Awesome buddy! Welcome to the two wheel club and enjoy the training day!!!
Doing my CBT on the 27th of this month so next Saturday I can’t wait this video made me even more excited 😆
Awesome news buddy! Good luck and please keep us posted how it goes!! :)
The Don in London will do buddy
Best of luck :) just did my cbt last week at the same place The Don in London and his friend went to, had a great experience.
Awesome buddy, did you tell them about my video ;)
GamingWithOSK nice old
Anytime 😎😎
:) had to add it in here
Doing my cbt this Wednesday nervous as I suffer from really bad anxiety 😧
Hey buddy, nothing to be nervous about. There is no exam and the instructor will be there to teach you the basics. Watch my other videos too as this may help. Best of luck and let me know how you get on!
hi simon, how did the cbt go? I also have really bad anxiety the funny thing is now im on the road I find my mind does not have the time to stress over things as my mind needs all my concentration. I have opend my world for sure.
@@MR_TRIP_UK yup, I used to go for a blast on my bike to de-stress when I just got into biking, 2am runs when I couldn't sleep worked great. Empty roads, go for a quick run, find a quiet place to park up, switch the engine off and just listen to the night. Ride home nice and slow and I slept like a baby.
I want to do cbt but scared,as I fall 125 bike in back home and that accident still fresh in my mind
Well they will be training you for the whole day and will get you practice which will help a lot! :) let me know how you get on
i remember watching this video when i did my cbt lol, helped me loads. bought a lexmoto titan 125cc for over a year then got an aprilia rs 125 2t for a year, then unfortunately it was stolen, when I got paid out I did my a2 and passed first time mod1 and 2 with no minors, now i ride a suzuki bandit 600 :D
Amazing!! Welcome to the two wheel club officially 👊👊
@@TheDonInLondon thanks man, cant wait to do my Full A license, another year yet, want more power lol. the bandit is great but doesn't compare with an r6 nevermind the r1s i ride with haha
Just take your time to learn how to ride it properly, not only about getting used to the power in a straight line 👊👍
@@TheDonInLondon yeah man, the bandits a heavy bike, prefer taking the twisties on my mates yam r3 lol
Lots of comments on here saying 'I'm 17 and about to do my cbt' 'I'm 16 and doing it soon'
Im 44 and thinking of doing mine. 🙄
Too old?
Haha very true, but no, why would it be too old buddy. You can do it :)
Never too old to ride mate👍
@@lemonsqueeza8248 yeah I've decided I'm going to go for it. Gotta save for a bike first though. Might take a while on my crappy wages bit I'm hopeful by this time next summer I'll no longer be a pedestrian 🤞
MM75 never to old or young to make an interest
I'm 43 and I have ridden bikes since I was 19, it might be a slightly more difficult route for you if you've got your car license first, you'll fall into car driving habits if you lose concentration. Which is bad. You need a heck of a lot more concentration while riding, I've driven a car hundreds of miles in a day and been fine but a couple of hundred miles on a bike and you can be exhausted, physically and mentally. I'm not trying to put you off, i love riding, and I don't see myself stopping any time soon and the CBT isn't exactly hard so long as you can ride a bicycle, you can ride a 125cc bike.
A word of caution though, yes you WILL fall off at some point and yes it WILL hurt. Again, it's not MIGHT fall off, it's WILL fall off. I've not met any biker who's never binned their bike. Now, if you still want to go for it, it's an amazing experience and it's well worth doing, just be aware it doesn't come without a price in bruises and lost skin.
Nice video man i'm sure a lot of people who starts on this path will find a lot of useful information here........ Keep braaaaappp!!!! 🏍️🏍️🎬📸🎥📹📽️📷
Ferry Fodor Thanks buddy! Always happy to help and inform :) thanks for your support!
My mums just surprised me with the news that I’m going to get a moped on my 16th birthday 21st June just trying to learn the Highway Code and trying to figure out how to keep my cool while I’m on the road 😳
That is a cool mum for sure haha! Welcome to the club and the channel. I have a play list with videos that will help you out. You are doing the right thing by learning the highway code! Stay safe
I did my cbt on a 600 and passed my das course. Great video 👍
Cheers buddy welcome to the two wheel club and the channel!!!
I'm doing my cbt in a couple of months, this video is great to see from the side what goes into it and your commentary is brilliant
Thank you buddy, glad you enjoyed it so much! Welcome to the channel! Good luck for your CBT and let us know how you get on :)
@@TheDonInLondon as mentioned in the above comment I did my cbt this week and passed it, best thing I've done loved learning to ride
@@aidanbrown9738 amazing well done buddy! Keep watching my videos on how to ride safe to help you on the road! Welcome to the channel and to the two wheels club!
I’ve always looked at guys riding bikes and thinking I would love to do that, watching films like Top Gun and Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise lol
Took my CBT didn’t think I would be able to get on with it, or manage it for that matter I don’t panic I’m getting on my bike now like I used to. I ride a KTM125 RC And absolutely love it 😊
Awesome buddy, welcome to the channel and the two wheel club!! It is an amazing feeling for sure!!
Thank you for the advice , hopefully completing it next week
Good luck buddy and let me know how you get one!
I have my CBT next Sunday. I have been driving car for 7 year and driving bus for 6 and half years Nd I'm so nervous about riding bike. I'm also doing a geared bike. Fingers crossed
You have a lot of experience being on the road, which will definitely help you! Nothing to be worried about, it is a fun day out. Geared bikes just take longer to get to grips with but worth doing if you want to get your full bike licence. Good luck!!!
lol watching this while trying to get my cbt cant wait just that the DVLA is a bit of a problem at the moment
love this video
Thanks buddy!! Welcome to the channel!!
thinking of going for my CBT after watching this video. never been on a bike before but love them. would love to start going to all these bike meets and meet new people.
Awesome buddy, you should check out my other videos with the ride outs to see how the meets are too. It is a great community to be a part of. Don't forget to subscribe as i will be doing more videos.
You have to go for it. I have only been riding for 2 years and I'm 50 now and although it's scary as hell it's also very exciting. Me and the other half go on rides together and we've had so much fun. My advice - take the bull by the horns and give the CBT a go. You've got nothing to lose and a whole lifetime of meeting new people who love riding and love to help their fellow rider. Good luck!
@@paulamorgan8030 beautifully said!! Most of these guys watching this video are going for it! :)
@@TheDonInLondon It's great to see new riders on the road. I ride a Fazer FZS600 at the moment and although I think it could be a little bit long for me, I'm loving the 'nod' bikers do to each other. Every day is a learning experience when out on the bike and I've never looked back. I will ride until my bones finally give in. Happy riding everyone!
Thats awesome!! Yes the nod is quite funny, if you watch my recent video riding through Europe and 5 top tips in riding long distance, I talk about how bikers say hello in other countries too, well worth watching! Welcome to the community and club! The Fazer is an amazing bike!
I would say at 17yrs get a 125cc and do test for A1 so you don't have to repeat CBT. Wait until your 24yrs and do Direct Access A License. But 7yrs is a long time to wait, I'd probably do my A2 at 19yrs with restricted power 46.6 bhp for 5yrs and then do my A License. I think that is probably the best route, you'd have a powerful bike, but lacking at top end, with loads of bottom end. It's not really about how fast you can go, but more about how fast you can get there.
But I totally agree with what you say.
It is crazy to think of how long it can take to get your full licence but is worth it
@@TheDonInLondon If you want it that much you will do it. I'd always wanted a full bike license for years. I hated the fact of only riding a poxy 125cc with L plates at my age. I done my direct access A License at 51yrs old, best thing I'd ever done. My only regret is that I'd wish I'd done it a lot earlier in life, but I got it in the end. I'll be 60yrs old in a few weeks, but I still have that buzz for a bit of speed and excitement. Just want to say your never too old while you have breath in your body. Take it from an old geezer, make your dreams come true.
Just decided to work to get a cbt only had a push bike new job I need something for a to b 125cc helpful vid thanks for this
Awesome, let me know how you get on! It is how I started and ended up loving it so much :)
The Don in London I will do dude totally new thing to do due to 2020
Sweet, yeah you will enjoy a new way of travelling :)
Hey man, I'm due to do my CBT in the next two weeks. I'm buying my bike this Sunday and preparing. I had a 140cc pit bike however there are so many factors that are different. For example a it's a different style bike, it's small, it's not fast nor powerful really BUT what it has helped me with is my understanding of riding a bike with an engine and my basic knowledge of maintenance so that's handy however I am VERY nervous about the road laws etc and actually being on the road.its easy to drive a bike in a private field it's the road that's worrying me. Nice video.
Hey Matty and welcome to the club! Best advise is to read the highway code but there is nothing to ve nervous about as they will teach you everything on the course. Just ride safe and listen to the instructor. You will get the hang of it and i will be posting some more tips soon :)
@@TheDonInLondon Thank you mate. I will comment on this video once I Finnish the course and let you know. Thank you for the advice.
Yes please do and good luck buddy!! :)
I give my CBT and I was scared. But I aced it on the car park and on my drive the first road was 30 and I didn’t know first person pulled out and I was waiting at traffic and then when clear I flow out and race to caugh up and I was doing 50mph and then the guy doing the test shouted speed speed speed it’s 30 30 30. Slow down I look down I saw my speed and I was doing 56mph and I started to break for the speed camera. I all so kept leaving my singles on all the time after turn and I still passed. So it’s right hard to fail. I would off personally failed some one doing that but I passed lol so I’m not in the road and fully insured for once!
Sweet well done buddy. Yes they just want to see that you know what you are doing as they only have one day to teach and the speed and signals you will learn even though I also would have failed you haha. Just stay safe and be careful buddy. Welcome to the two wheel club :)
Thanks you buddy! I think if you pass your cbt I think you should be able to drive a quad instead of a full car license
Doing cbt on Monday 12th so thats in few days already got 125 scooter been practising on off road so that should help when doing the test also got the highway code book worth buying
Nice one! Good luck buddy
I was lucky that when I did my cbt about a month ago now I was the only one that showed up and passed first time because he spent more time on me
Thanks for the video I wanted to see how it is. Just turned 16 so hoping to be biking around in the summer. :)
Awesome buddy, happy it helped. Let me know how you get on!
Got mine tomorrow I’m nervous I can’t lie I hope I pass fingers crossed
Dont be nervous, just enjoy it and you will be fine
I’m 14 and I’m gonna do my cbt at the end of the year (were allowed to ride on roads at 14 over here)
Oh very nice! Lucky you are able to do it so early! Good luck buddy
AYE MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DIE
2 hours on the road !! Is it that long, I ride a moped in Asia coming back to the UK, now I'll be back on the left side of the road and I'll need a license
Yes but it goes very quickly buddy! You will be fine for sure if you've been riding before
I subscribed you are an awesome guy I’m doing my CBT on Saturday and I’m a bit nervous
Thanks buddy!! Good luck and keep us posted how it goes!!
I passed!
Amazing!!! Well done buddy, welcome to the club :)
Im doing my cbt in april! Im absolutely petrified of being on the road on the moped😂 altho u wouldn’t think i would be scared of a moped tho as i can gallop across fields on a horse without a worry 🤣
Nice one!! Haha yeah you will be fine, you will feel nervous to begin with until you realise how much fun it really is too! 👍😁👊
I’m 15 till May... then I do my cbt test I got told you can’t fail as it’s learning any tips (uk) is seriously scared I have no idea why but I really can’t wait!
Awesome well i have some more videos coming soon that will help so dont forget to subscribe if you havent already
I’m 17 just looking for a job atm as soon as I pattern that I’m deffo getting a 125
Good luck buddy!
I’m booking my CBT soon, I’m 16 and currently learning the Highway Code
Awesome buddy! Best thing to do is learn the highway code as much as you can to help. Not only for the CBT but so you know everything when you do get on the road
Got my CBT on Thursday morning 😄
Good luck buddy, keep me posted how you get on :)
The Don in London definitely mate I will keep you posted, Thank you🙏🏼
Hey Mate it went really well passed it first time it was really easy!!
@@hasangun1684 amazing well done buddy!
You are my favorite youtuber, 1 year and i can do the 125 cc test :D
Very kind of you buddy! Thank you :) not long but continue watching to learn as much as you can before
@@TheDonInLondon thank you
I love how at the CBT Center(in the UK) everyone is on scooters. But out here in the US everyone is on motorcycles. I want more scooters here.
Scooters are fun but I personally find they are less safe than a motorcycle. In Italy, they are a must!!
I’ve got my cbt on Monday!
Edit: kind of nervous can’t lie
Ahh sweet, let me know how you get on! Nothing to be nervous about honestly it is more fun if you remember there is no test :)
The Don in London I passed!
Amazing congratulations and welcome to the two wheel club buddy!!!
The Don in London thanks brotha I’m glad to be part of it!
I’m doing my cbt this Saturday I’m super excited but really nervous this video helped a lot
Awesome buddy! Thanks for your comment and good luck for saturday!! Keep us posted how it goes!!
Will do thanks
how did your CBT go?
My cbt has been moved to next week so at least I get extra time to prepare myself
Cool, keep us posted buddy:)
doing my cbt in a month thanks for the video
Thanks buddy glad it helped! Good luck, keep me posted how you get on!
You deserve a lot more subs also I’m turning 16 in 3 months any recommendations on bikes?
Cheers buddy! Feel free to share the videos :) I would recommend going for a geared bike without "clip ons", something more upright and comfortable for you to learn on :) let me know how you get on and welcome to the channel buddy
I'm gonna have to do mine again next year in march......hopefully I'll ace it fast after 2 years riding. And I'll be able to use my own bike this time which I've gotten so comfortable riding it should be such a piece of piss
Did it 2 days after my 17th birthday too lol 13/3/17
TheGamingBiscuit yes should be fine if you have been riding for two years. Make sure your bike is completely road legal should you want to use it! Still got some time though :)
The Don In London insurance tax and MOT is April so it'll be all good man. It'll also be good having 100cc/6.7BHP instead of what I rode that first time which was a kymco agility 50 with 70cc kit lol.....thing went 38 tops when mine comfortably goes 60 :)
TheGamingBiscuit ah thats good! Yes you have a point there buddy.
16 and on my way to my cbt here now, kinda nervous 😅
Good luck buddy! You need to enjoy it not be nervous, they are there to train you, it isn't a test. 👊
Waiting for my GCSEs to be over to take CBT and then A1 license hopefully
Sweet sounds good buddy, check out my other videos which may help too!
My CBT is tomorrow and I have GCSEs this year too

Thank you and welcome to the channel. Plenty of videos on here to help too 👍
I’m going to book my cbt now but I was just wondering how long is the wait to do your CBT that you booked during covid :), exa
Hey buddy, no idea how long the backlog is now. It was pretty bad before but you might have to wait 6 to 8 weeks. Call a few places and find out who can slot you in
I’m doing my cbt in 2 days I’m 16 never been on the road only dirt bikes at tracks I’m kinda scared to be on the road for 2 hours but I should be ok😂
Yeah let me know how you get on but you will be fine buddy. It is a lot of fun no need to be nervous :)
I start my cbt test in a year can’t wait
Awesome! Have some other videos that can help you too, check them out!
Totally new to all of this and I've never even considered it but with starting university soon I'm thinking it would be a handy way to get there and back without having to rely on the dreaded buses. I'm 27 and already have a full UK car licence so have previously been on roads and stuff. I'm nervous about dealing with traffic and possibly falling off. I'm quite a nervous person (especially with new things) but I like to be careful and cautious. Does anyone know if riding would be for me? Also can anyone recommend any good UK-based sites that will help me read up on things like road etiquette for bikes/scooters and things to be aware of?
No one will really be able to tell you if riding is for you. Doing the CBT will be a good start to see if you enjoy it or not. To begin with I was nervous and for the first week of riding, I struggled as many do. Having said this it is a great way to get around. Watch my other videos, check the playlists to look for the specific videos to help. Good luck and keep me posted how you get on!
Tdil: no you mug, you have to do it
17 yr old who thinks he’s road: “well yes but actually no”

Awesome buddy! Good luck :)
Doing my cbt next wednesday and I am really nervois for the on road bit
Hey buddy, don't be nervous as you will be with an instructor who is responsible for you. You need to stay calm and relaxed which is easier to say now when you are concerned but of course hard to relax. Having said this, on the day you will feel much better and have plenty of time on the bike before you go on the road. They will also give you lessons in the class room and you will be more than excited to get on the road at this point. Good luck and let us know how you get on buddy!
The Don in London Done the cbt today and it went really well the instructor was so nice and gave me tips on how to improve.I can now drive my scooter and I am getting a geared bike in jan (17th bday).I was nervois this morning but I am so glad that I did it.

Totes agree, I had my manual driving license and was cycling in London for 4+ years before I did my CBT without the experience I think it would've taken a lot more fails before getting my license. Shoulder checks was already second nature to me from cycling. My mate took his CBT 3 weeks ago he only has his auto driving license and was baffled by the manual controls, he ended up not getting the certificate.
Yes you are right! Wow shame he didn't get it but experience always helps to get your full licence. Can be hard to get use to it all but studying the highway code will help. Mind you I did an automatic cbt and bought a brand new manual the same day with no training haha
How did you manage to ride your geared bike back without riding one before, did you get a mate to ride it from the shop? I was dreading riding home from the dealers and I managed to get my CBT on a geared bike lol
Bikers Quest well I asked the dealer how the gears worked with the clutch and I jumped on it alone and went home haha. Yes it was scary but I taught myself how to use the gears .... not what i would advise for others though haha
Yeah mate I don't think many people can hack that lol

Awesome buddy, welcome to the channel!
I’m 15 but have a moped ( obviously can’t ride it atm) but doing my cbt in September... aslong as the worlds a bit more normal, I was wondering so when you ride with the instructors on actual roads what should you do if they turn left but you there isn’t time for you to turn and then a car gets inbetween you and the instructor, should you still follow and wait till you can be back behind them?
You will ride in front of the instructor and he will make sure he is with you at all times. If a car gets in the way, he will find the right solution. He may tell you to pull over and wait or continue. Good luck keep me posted how you get on!!
HazzaGaming0 high hazza your not alone mate I’m 66 and like many older people never took my bike test but still rode piles of 250’s and chair outfits which you were allowed to on a provisional .
Now I want a bike again so I’ve got to do the CBT etc which will be really weird having be a club competition trials rider .
The old test was an examiner watching you from the curb and that was it , should have taken it then much easier..
Good luck mate sure you’ll do well 👍🏻
The Don in London just passed my cbt!
Lee B cheers mate just passed it 👍🏻
Awesome news welcome to the two wheel club buddy! Well done, ride safe!
600 sub to 5k lol ur killing it bro also thanks for this video I really needed it
Cheers buddy :) taking a while though haha. Glad you like the video and welcome to the channel bud
I've had a 50cc for two years I'm now 18 and ill be doing 125cc on a scooter on the 25th of April wish me luck.
Sweet! Good luck buddy! Keep me posted how you get on, but think you will be fine
Loved it
Just subscribed thanks for this video it helped me so much
Cheers buddy, welcome to the channel! 👊
Hello 16 year olds, I’m 46 and doing my cbt next month lol, I didn’t get what happened? Your buddy come off? On the CBT?
Haha don't worry many older people doing it too! You will be more wise which helps being on these machines. He dropped the bike in the car park whilst learning how to ride, no damage, no injuries just happens sometimes when you learn.
The Don in London thanks mate, can’t wait, want to bang around for a year on a 125 then go for my full test, plans of Europe on an Africa twin 😁. This is not a midlife crisis honestly lol
Haha brilliant! Yes love those adventures, you'll enjoy my other videos as I use my KTM to tour Europe :)
The Don in London subbed
Will say been a city boy most of my adult life, never even driven (just commuted) so going to be a bit nervous which is a bit sad considering my age lol, apart from a few wangs about on totally illegal dirt bikes in my teens and obviously the push bike, that’s it. Always wanted a “proper” bike, but time work ect has always got in the way, don’t want to just fly into a direct access, want to do it right, follow a sensible path, it’s taken me 30 years to get round to this, so I can hold back another year on a 125 with L plates I recon. Tho ask me in a few months, I’ll probably be asking you for advice in which ridiculous over powered bullet I should buy lol
I love cycling but today I booked my Cbt for next month at the ripe old age of 52. I want to enjoy motorbike on an automatic. Which would you all recommend for my 1st scooter? Very nervous for the test so please wish me luck. Thank you all and great vlog to calm the nerves a bit.
Sweet! You will be fine the day is a lot of fun. I would recommend getting a 125 or something like the honda vision 110 like they were riding in this video. They are all very similar and not enough difference other than looks really. Good luck! Let me know how you get on and welcome to the channel!
